Sylt is located from 9 to 16 kilometres (6–10 miles) off the mainland, to which it is connected by the <a href="/wiki/Hindenburgdamm" title="Hindenburgdamm">Hindenburgdamm</a>. Southeast of Sylt are the islands of <a href="/wiki/F%C3%B6hr" title="Föhr">Föhr</a> and <a href="/wiki/Amrum" title="Amrum">Amrum</a>, to the north lies the <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Danish</a> island of <a href="/wiki/R%C3%B8m%C3%B8" title="Rømø">Rømø</a>. The island of Sylt extends for 38 kilometres (24 miles) in a north-south direction. At its northern point at <a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6nigshafen" title="Königshafen">Königshafen</a>, it is only 320 metres (1,050 feet) wide. Its greatest width, from the town of Westerland in the west to the eastern <i>Nössespitze</i> near <a href="/wiki/Morsum" title="Morsum">Morsum</a>, measures 12.6 kilometres (7.8 miles). On the western and northwestern shore, there is a 40-kilometre-long (25-mile) sandy beach. To the east of Sylt, is the <a href="/wiki/Wadden_Sea" title="Wadden Sea">Wadden Sea</a>, which belongs to the <a href="/wiki/Wadden_Sea_National_Parks" title="Wadden Sea National Parks">Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park</a> and mostly falls dry during low <a href="/wiki/Tide" title="Tide">tide</a>. </p><p>The island's shape has constantly shifted over time, a process which is still ongoing today. The northern and southern <a href="/wiki/Spit_(landform)" title="Spit (landform)">spits</a> of Sylt are exclusively made up of infertile sand deposits, while the central part with the municipalities of <a href="/wiki/Westerland,_Germany" title="Westerland, Germany">Westerland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wenningstedt-Braderup" title="Wenningstedt-Braderup">Wenningstedt-Braderup</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sylt-Ost" title="Sylt-Ost">Sylt-Ost</a> consists of a <a href="/wiki/Geest" title="Geest">geestland</a> core, which becomes apparent in the form of the Red Cliff of Wenningstedt. The geestland facing the Wadden Sea gradually turns into fertile <a href="/wiki/Marshland" class="mw-redirect" title="Marshland">marshland</a> around Sylt-Ost. Sylt has only been an island since the <i><a href="/wiki/Grote_Mandrenke" class="mw-redirect" title="Grote Mandrenke">Grote Mandrenke</a></i> flood of 1362.<sup id="cite_ref-TU_Berlin_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TU_Berlin-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The so-called <i>Uwe-Düne</i> (Uwe Dune) is the island's highest elevation with 52.5 metres (172.2 feet) <a href="/wiki/Above_sea_level" class="mw-redirect" title="Above sea level">above sea level</a>. </p><p>The island in its current form has only existed for about 400 years. Like the mainland <a href="/wiki/Geest" title="Geest">geestland</a>, it was formed of <a href="/wiki/Moraine" title="Moraine">moraines</a> from the older <a href="/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation" title="Quaternary glaciation">ice ages</a>, thus being made up of a <a href="/wiki/Till" title="Till">till</a> core, which is now apparent in the island's west and centre by the cliff, dunes and beach. This sandy core began to <a href="/wiki/Erosion" title="Erosion">erode</a> as it was exposed to a strong current along the island's steep basement when the sea level rose 8000 years ago. During the process, <a href="/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment">sediments</a> were accumulated north and south of the island. The west coast, which was originally situated 10 kilometres (6 miles) off today's shore, was thus gradually moved eastward, while at the same time the island began to extend to the north and south. After the ice ages, marshland began to form around this geestland core. </p><p>In 1141, Sylt is recorded as an island, yet before the <i><a href="/wiki/Grote_Mandrenke" class="mw-redirect" title="Grote Mandrenke">Grote Mandrenke</a></i> flood it belonged to a landscape cut by <a href="/wiki/Tidal_creek" title="Tidal creek">tidal creeks</a> and, at least during low tide, it could be reached on foot.<sup id="cite_ref-TU_Berlin_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TU_Berlin-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is only since this flood that the creation of a <a href="/wiki/Spit_(landform)" title="Spit (landform)">spit</a> from sediments began to form the current characteristic shape of Sylt. It is the northern and southern edges of Sylt which were, and still are, the subject of greatest change. For example, Listland was separated from the rest of the island in the 14th century and from the later 17th century onwards the <i>Königshafen</i> (King's Harbour) began to silt up as the "elbow" spit began to form.<sup id="cite_ref-geomar_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-geomar-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition to the constant loss of land, the inhabitants during the <a href="/wiki/Little_Ice_Age" title="Little Ice Age">Little Ice Age</a> were constrained by sand drift.

Consequently, though, material breaking off the island was increasingly washed away and the island's extent continued to decrease. </p><p>Records of the annual <a href="/wiki/Land_loss" title="Land loss">land loss</a> exist since 1870. According to them, Sylt lost an annual 0.4 metres (16 inches) of land in the north and 0.7 metres (28 inches) in the south from 1870 to 1951. From 1951 to 1984, the rate increased to 0.9 metres (35 inches) and 1.4 metres (55 inches) respectively, while shorelines at the island's very edges at Hörnum and List are even more affected.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Severe storm surges of the last decades have repeatedly endangered Sylt to the point of breaking in two, e.g. Hörnum was temporarily cut off from the island in 1962.

While Kampen, mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, was famous in Germany for attracting celebrities, Wenningstedt has been known as a "family resort" for more than 100 years. Since 1855, the prominent black and white <a href="/wiki/Kampen_Lighthouse" title="Kampen Lighthouse">Kampen Lighthouse</a> has been located between Kampen and Wenningstedt; it is the oldest one on the island. East of there, the <i>Braderuper Heide</i> nature reserve is situated. Right south of Wenningstedt are the town limits of the island's largest town, Westerland. </p><p>After the complete destruction of the village Eidum by a storm surge on 1 November 1436, the survivors founded a new village northeast of their old home: Westerland. The name was first recorded in 1462. In 1865, a seaside spa was founded and, 50 years later, Westerland was granted <a href="/wiki/Town_privileges" title="Town privileges">town privileges</a>. In 1949, it was officially recognised as a health resort. In 2007, the town numbered 9,072 citizens. </p><p>South of Westerland, the island extends for about 15 km (10 miles) in the form of a spit, until it is cut by the <i>Hörnumtief</i> tidal creek that runs through the Wadden Sea mudflats east of Sylt. Here is the location of <a href="/wiki/Rantum" title="Rantum">Rantum</a>. This village, like no other on Sylt, had to fight sand drift during the past centuries. Many farmsteads and a church had to be abandoned because of shifting dunes moving eastward. Only the planting of <a href="/wiki/Marram_grass" class="mw-redirect" title="Marram grass">marram grass</a> stopped the dunes and put an end to this threat.

It was founded shortly after 1900, although the uninhabited southern tip of Sylt was said to serve as refuge for pirates and fishermen. The name <i>Budersand</i> in the area emanates from that custom, marking a great dune where booths (<a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a>: <i lang="de">Buden</i>) stood in former times to serve as shelters.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This southern headland, called <i>Odde</i>, is marked by continuous loss of land.
